If you live near Kingston and you’re planning a trip to the Dutchess County Fair 2026, here’s a practical guide to timing, logistics, and the cannabis products worth grabbing before you head out.
Rhinebeck sits just a short drive from Kingston, on the other side of the Hudson River. And our Domes Dispensary is right off of Exit 19, making it an easy and quick stop on the way!
When Is the Dutchess County Fair Happening This Year?
The Dutchess County Fair runs August 25 through 30, 2026. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Rides start at 11:00 AM every day and keep going until closing, except on Sunday when they wrap up at 8:00 PM.
6636 Springbrook Avenue in Rhinebeck, New York, is the address to plug into your GPS. Parking is completely free, and trolleys run through the lots to help you get from your car to the gates. You can grab tickets right at the gate, though the better presale pricing only lasts until the day before the fair starts, so it’s worth buying online ahead of time and having your ticket downloaded or printed before you arrive.
Food vendors line the grounds alongside sellers offering souvenirs, toys, clothing, and handmade crafts. Live music plays throughout the fair, and there’s a petting zoo, racing pigs, and roaming performers to keep things entertaining.
7 Cannabis Picks for a Fairgrounds Day
A full day outdoors calls for something that matches the pace of a fair day. Here’s what our team suggests pulling together before you go, all available at Domes:
- Harney Brothers LiberTea (Strawberry & Tea) 16oz Beverage 10mg: This iced tea blends smooth organic black tea with real strawberry purée for a naturally sweet and refreshing taste. Bottled in a glass and crafted with organic ingredients. (Also a staff pick!)

A quick reminder: New York law doesn’t allow cannabis consumption in public spaces, including the fairgrounds, parking lots, or anywhere outside a private residence. Plan your timing so you’re using any products at home, before or after your fair day, not on-site.
Coming from Kingston or just passing through on your way to Rhinebeck, Domes is a natural stop at 268 Forest Hill Drive before or after your fair day. We’ll see you before the gates open!
